I thought I have been keeping up with Obummer, the Marxist now posing as a Fascist, past life pretty well, but this CIA thing is news to me.

Where do we see a link?

For what reason did he work with the CIA, or maybe I should ask why did the CIA work with him?

“I thought I have been keeping up with Obummer...”

I’m with you. It seems that as more information comes out, the less we know about him.

“You know, we really don’t know much about Barack Obama.” - Tom Brokaw to Charlie Rose... the night after Obama’s election.

I have watch Rev Mannings videos on youtube, he seems convinced.
He is basically saying that in the 80’s the CIA recruited college students that could fit in the role of a middle east man to help the CIA in Afghanistan, i.e., understand the Muslim culture, etc. Seems possible, not necessarily Obama, but possible. Would make agood movie.

For what reason did he work with the CIA, or maybe I should ask why did the CIA work with him?Supposedly to work with the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan and Pakistan against the Soviets. But that really doesn't wash. He only knows parts of the Koran in Arabic, as many Muslims do as Catholics once knew parts of the bible and the litergy in Latin. He spoke some dialect of Indonesian, but doesn't speak Farsi/Dari or Pashto or any of other languages of the region. Nor would he relate to them culturally.

I'm not buying BHO as CIA asset or officer.

KGB or GRU, maybe, but they wouldn't want someone who was all wee-weed up all the time, although they would take what they could get.
